Hydrant Flushing Begins April 23, 2018 in Arlington Heights

The annual hydrant flushing program will begin April 23 in the center sections of the Village, with different neighborhoods in the Village being done over a two and a half week period. The hydrant flushing ensures hydrants are operable and have adequate flow rates for public safety.

During the two and a half weeks of hydrant flushing residents may notice that water is discolored due to flushing. The Village of Arlington Heights recommends resident not to wash white clothes until the water clears up (should clear up within an hour). Please check the attached map of flushing to see when your neighborhood will be flushed.
